640 Scheming

At An Ding County

“Big brother, look at this. The food here is so delicious. It’s winter, and there are all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits. It’s simply a kind of peaceful enjoyment. Also, look at this room. There are ancient porcelain and Jade paintings. The bed is soft and warm. Even the chair is soft. It’s so comfortable to sit on!”

The Ji brothers, who had already checked into Ni Lai Wo Wang restaurant, looked at everything in the room with bright eyes. They drooled as they counted everything.

“I wonder who the owner of this restaurant is?” Ji Changxuan frowned and said, ” big brother, I heard rumors that Zhou Wencai, Zhou Changsheng’s son, is part owner of this restaurant. But we’ve been here for two days. Why haven’t we seen him? ”

Since they were the young masters of the prefects, Zhou Changsheng had to bring his entire family to welcome them.

Zhou Wencai did not show up, and it made him feel very unhappy.

In particular, he was even more displeased when he found out that Zhou wencai had a share in this restaurant.

Since the Zhou family owned half of the restaurant, they should have arranged everything for them the moment they arrived. They shouldn’t have been chased out by the restaurant manager, and caused them to lose face.

This was what Ji Changxuan was very displeased about.

“Big brother, did you see that? ” Ji Changxuan could not vent his anger now, so he thought of another thing that made him happy. “this restaurant really did hire a female waiter, and all of them have beautiful faces and slender figures. They’re even more beautiful than the women in the Qi Cui Garden.”

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something or someone that had attracted him. His eyes shone with an obscene light, and he drooled.

Ji Changjin looked at his brother’s appearance and a look of disgust flashed through his eyes. However, his expression did not let his brother, who was still immersed in obscenity, see it.

However, Ji Changjin soon frowned as well. It was just that his thoughts were in a different direction from Ji changxuan’s, who only knew how to eat, drink and play.

He had been thinking about where Zhou Wencai had gone.

He had sent servants to the Zhou Manor to inquire about Zhou Wencai’s whereabouts, but no one could tell them where young master Zhou had gone.

Originally, he didn’t care where Zhou wencai went, but why was it so coincidental that this person had only disappeared when his father’s letter arrived in An Ding County?

Counting the days, his father’s letter had arrived more than ten days ago. In other words, Zhou Wencai had been missing from An Ding County for more than ten days.

Why did it seem a little abnormal?

The more Ji Changjin thought about it, the more puzzled he became. Suddenly, he felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, but this uneasiness quickly passed.

“Big brother, what are you thinking?” Ji Changxuan asked curiously, ” I’ve called you a few times, but you didn’t respond at all.”

Ji Changjin frowned and said in puzzlement, ” I’m wondering where Zhou wencai went.”

Ji Changxuan immediately said disdainfully, ” Hmph, no matter where he went, we must tell father that he didn’t come to entertain us. I heard that he’s still a scholar and is currently studying at the Xiang Lin Academy. When the time comes, I’ll ask father to talk to the Dean and tell him that he must be properly punished. He must not be allowed to pass the Academy examination so easily.”

Ji Changjin glanced at Ji Changxuan from the corner of his eyes. His eyes revealed a kind of disgust and irritation.

Then, he said, ” alright, go ahead.”

At the Zhou mansion, Zhou Changsheng was very suspicious as to why Lin Yuelan had arranged for the Ji brothers to stay in Ni Lai Wo Wang restaurant. Whether it was food or accommodation, everything was free.

No matter how he thought about it, Zhou Changsheng felt that it was unbelievable.

He had heard from his son that Lin yuelan was a money-grubber and miser. Not to mention strangers, even people who were very familiar with her, would find it difficult to take advantage of her. Now, although the Ji brothers were the two young masters of the magistrate, they were just two strangers to Lin yuelan.

So, would Lin yuelan give a stranger any advantage?

The answer was obviously impossible.

Therefore, at this moment, he had been trying to figure out what Lin yuelan was up to.

In a VIP room at Ni Lai Wo Wang, Lin yuelan was sitting alone in front of the window, sipping a glass of wine while looking at the mottled eaves outside the window.

Zhang Yuanbin reported seriously, ” in Presidential Suite 515, a chair was broken, a set of Jade Porcelain teacups were broken, the tablecloth was lifted, a landscape painting was broken, a fish tank was broken, three goldfish were killed, a carpet was destroyed, and a Chinese Checkers Pixiu was lost.”

These damaged items had been damaged in a fit of anger when Ji Changxuan had tried to flirt with the pretty waitress and had been stopped by someone.

After reporting all this, Zhang Yuanbin said angrily, ” boss, the Ji brothers have destroyed so many things, stolen so many precious things, and even tried to flirt with these female attendants. Shouldn’t we do something to stop them or just drive them out?”

Lin yuelan was playing with a Jade cup, and the corners of her mouth curled up into an unbridled smile. She said, ” apart from stopping them from molesting women, you can just watch them do anything else! However, all the accounts that need to be recorded must be recorded one by one. Even if there is a missing thread, it must be recorded, understand?”

Zhang Yuanbin was very confused as to why Lin yuelan would give such an order. What made him even more confused was that the Ji brothers had destroyed and stolen so many things, but she still allowed such arrogant and presumptuous behavior to happen. This was completely different from the boss’s usual style.

However, since Lin yuelan had given such an order, he only had to obey it.

“yes, boss, ” Zhang Yuanbin replied respectfully.

In the throne room of the Imperial Palace.

In the middle of the hall was a two-meter-high red lacquered square platform. On it was a golden lacquered Dragon Throne, and behind it was a Dragon carved screen.

At this moment, the man sitting on the Dragon was upright and dignified. His sharp eyes were filled with shrewdness and sharpness as he looked at the officials below.

The eunuch on his left, who was holding a horsetail whisk, said in a high-pitched voice, ” if you have something to report, do it now. If not, then withdraw!”

“Reporting to the Emperor, this official has a matter to report!” At this moment, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Qin Jing, stood out and said.

After the Emperor nodded, the eunuch loudly said, ” approved!”

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Qin Jing, said, ” Your Majesty, I have received a secret report that the Zhou Shan prefect, Ji Zhongcai, is corrupt and has abused the law by oppressing the common people. The most shameless thing is that this person ordered his servants to abduct beautiful boys and lock them up in a side courtyard of the Ji residence! The evidence is irrefutable, please punish him, Emperor!”
